Can I make this salad ahead of time?

You can prep some of the ingredients ahead of time like the pomegranate dressing, sliced apple, chopped nuts but for the best results, assemble the salad just before serving.

What other dressings can I use?

A classic balsamic vinaigrette , white balsamic vinaigrette or a simple lemon honey dressing works well with the salad’s flavors.

I can’t find burrata, what should I use instead?

A softer type of cheese like feta, goat or ball of fresh mozzarella work great.

How could I add more protein to this salad?

Add some salty prosciutto, grilled chicken breast or cooked quinoa for a boost of protein.

How should I store the leftovers?

Store leftover dressing separately in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 weeks. Store salad components separately in containers in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
